Orphanage



This week I went to an Orphanage in Durban. It was owned by wealthy Muslims and was one of most well-kept orphanages I've seen. The kids all had nice clothes, rooms and they even had a washer and a dryer. I don't' even have a washer and dryer at my house in Durban!!!! The kids were so much fun to play with, we stayed all day with them. They sang cute little nursery rhymes and played a train game where they all followed each other in a line (left picture) soo cute! Steph brought bubbles for the kids and they went wild for them. I think we used up all three bottles in about an hour. The picture on my left was my favorite little kid. He would sit on my lab and blow bubbles, he also really liked to be held.
Not all of the orphanages in Durban are quite like this. Most of them are run down and barely have enough funds to support the children. The kids at this orphanage were very lucky. I only have 1 more week in Durban so hopefully I will be able to spend at least 1 more day at the Orphanage!!
